1. An apparatus comprising:
- a memory storing an immersive view corresponding to viewing parameters comprising a viewing location, and data associated with a preferred entity not displayed in the immersive view, the memory further storing a planar layout corresponding to the viewing location;
a digital signage generation block configured to;
based on the planar layout, determine a presence of a blocking entity between the viewing location and the preferred entity; and
generate digital signage comprising the data associated with the preferred entity, the digital signage further comprising an indication that the preferred entity is not displayed in the immersive view if the presence of a blocking entity is determined;
the apparatus further comprising a superimposition block configured to superimpose the digital signage onto the immersive view to generate an annotated immersive view.

Abstract
Techniques for generating and superimposing digital signage onto an immersive view. In an exemplary embodiment, certain entities are occluded or otherwise unviewable in an immersive view of an environment. For such entities, digital signage may be generated and superimposed in a suitable area of the immersive view, and further indicating, e.g., directions to such entities from a viewing location, as well as other metadata, such as business name, website, etc. To determine whether a nearby entity is displayed in the immersive view, a planar layout storing geometrical data associated with entities in the vicinity may be loaded and processed.

11. A method comprising:
-
retrieving an immersive view corresponding to viewing parameters comprising a viewing location, and data associated with a preferred entity not displayed in the immersive view; retrieving a planar layout corresponding to the viewing location; based on the planar layout, determining a presence of a blocking entity between the viewing location and the preferred entity; generating digital signage comprising the data associated with the preferred entity, the digital signage further comprising an indication that the preferred entity is not displayed in the immersive view if the presence of a blocking entity is determined; and superimposing the digital signage onto the immersive view to generate an annotated immersive view. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A computing device including a processor and a memory holding instructions executable by the processor to:
-
retrieve from the memory an immersive view corresponding to viewing parameters comprising a viewing location, and data associated with a preferred entity not displayed in the immersive view; retrieve from the memory a planar layout corresponding to the viewing location; based on the planar layout, determine a presence of a blocking entity between the viewing location and the preferred entity; and generate digital signage comprising the data associated with the preferred entity, the digital signage further comprising an indication that the preferred entity is not displayed in the immersive view if the presence of a blocking entity is determined; and superimpose the digital signage onto the immersive view to generate an annotated immersive view.
